Figma Faces Record Short Pressure
Figma (FIG) has seen its short interest as a percentage of free float jump by five percentage points to 30.8%, marking a new record high. This follows a gradual increase in short positioning that began in February, signaling a sustained bearish trend among market participants.
Liquidity Constraints
The days-to-cover metric for Figma has also risen to 4.2, up from 3.3. This increase occurred despite a spike in trading volume following the company's Q1 results in mid-May, suggesting that the growth in short positions is outpacing the liquidity available in the market.
Key Takeaways
- Short interest reached a record 30.8% of free float.
- Days-to-cover rose to 4.2, indicating increased difficulty for shorts to exit.
- Sustained growth in short positions since February.
The Bottom Line
Figma's record-high short interest and rising days-to-cover suggest that the stock is under significant bearish pressure, making it a key name to watch for potential volatility.
